When all around you
is filled with negative energy
and temptations fill the air
Stay strong in your belief
For it is your journey
not theirs
Set your pace and state your goals
Dream your dreams and see them as now
For it is your time and your life
and your future
No-one but you can see this through
So stay true to yourself
Trust that what you dream will be yours
Do not stop if you stumble along the way
Just pick yourself up and start again
This is one life, one road to travel
and it will have pot-holes
But with determination and faith
with belief that you will succeed
you will make it
The secret to your success
is to never give up.

SUCH WISE ADVICE!!!
This is what I try to do though I am able to understand how difficult it must be for young people now days. Society has lost all sense of right and wrong.

You said it so well. "it is your journey/not theirs." People are so prone to put in their twopenny worth. I find that hard to understand but I guess they have their reasons. If their input applies to me, I will certainly consider it but, as you say, it's MY journey, not theirs.
I like this write. (There is one typo - "enery" should be "energy".
